Setting Up Quotes Callback
You may remember from way back in season one a little task called setting up quotes. Today, you’re going to delve into the intricacies of setting up quotes with a partner. Peer Critique Setting up Quotes Today, you need to once again share your thesis (or a copy of it) with your partner. They are going to be trawling through all your quotations to see how you set them up. Follow the handout for specifics, but as always, here’s the gist: Command+F Have you used the find and replace function in Google Docs yet? You’re about to become intimately familiar. Use Command/Control + F and put a quotation mark (“) in the textbox. This will highlight where every single direct quote is hiding. Step 1: The Hunt Leave a comment on each quote setup indicating what type of setup it is (Method 1, Method 2, Method 3). Don’t hit comment just yet. Step 2: The Kill On that same comment, add a “YES” if their punctuation is correct for said quote, a “NO” if not. Step 3: Signal Phrases Now for the new part. Highlight out the signal phrase they used in their setup. Look at setting up quotes if you need more context. Step 4: Safe Harbor Return to your paper with what should be a seemingly impossible wall of comments on the right. Go through them and take note of the setups you used. Make a tally if you feel so inclined. Now, what are you going to do to improve your setups?

Starter n+1: Another Setup Task
Analysis Framework Returns I told you you’d see this again… even if I am in control and can make it a self fulfilling prophecy. Remember long long ago to last month when we did an analysis framework? Good. Peer Review with Analysis Framework You will be following this handout with your partner. You will need a few highlighting colors. Step 1: A Highlight of your Paper Go through their part 3 and highlight the elements of their analysis for ONE of their major claims (this will probably be more than one paragraph, but less than the entirety of part 3). Use the handout for color recommendations. You’re going to need 5-6 colors. Step 2: Editor’s Commentary Now, once you’ve made their paper good and colorful, you’re going to need to give some feedback notes. First up is the general feedback. Overall, what do they need to do? Done well? Etc? See the handout for sentence starters to get you going. Step 3: Specific Suggestions Keep them commenting fingers warmed up, you’ve got more to write. Next up, you need 2 comments for specific suggestions to their paper. No rhetorical questions here. Step 4: Analysis Suggestions One more round of comments. You need to write 2 comments about their analysis sections. Luckily, you have colored this up like a rainbow. What do they need to add? What do they need to change? More context? More why sentences? Step 5: Pearl Clutching Return your colorful mess to its original author. Let them really drink in just how messy their hard work looks. Now, read over their comments, look around the highlights, and come up some actionable steps to be done for your writing. See handout for details. Step 6: Get Workin’ Use your suggestions and actionable steps to get revising. DUE DATES- ON TIME

Peer Critiques: Part 2 Pull up your thesis document. Make sure Part 2 of your thesis is clearly labeled. Share it with your partner. Peer Critiques for Background Information Go and sit with your partner. With any luck, they’ll have absolutely no clue what your topic is about. This is good. You want a blank slate to see what you, the expert, are overlooking as obvious. Your Task Follow directions on this handout. Step 1: The Read. Read their background (PART 2), make some notes. Refer to the handout for specifics here. DO NOT READ THEIR INTRODUCTION! Step 2: The connection. When you get to step 2, NOW you go read their introduction. Then make notes on the handout. Step 3: The Return. Take a gander at your partner’s notes. Then, add to this document with the next steps you need to follow as described in the handout. SHOW LORI the completed handout. Back to Work You’ve got some editing to do. Revision Priorities for today…
